usb joypad hal problem

Hello out there, i'am new on emc2.4 and ubuntu. I tryed now to connect a usb joypad. The joypad works with
jstest /dev/input/js0.
But it dose not work with
$halrun
halcmd: loadusr hal_input -d /dev/input/js0 -p joypad
halcmd: No input devices could be opened. This usually indicates a misconfigured
system. Please read the section 'PERMISSIONS AND UDEV' in the hal_input
manpage

please give me a little help.

Have you read this?

Hello, thank you for your help but it dose not work.
I have read the Simple Remote Pendant and in the last lines he wrote i should make new ruls.

yes i want to do the jog function with the joypad. To move the mashine x,y,z to my zero position.

Hello,

What lines did you add to your .ini file?

HI im having the same problem did you get your joypad working??

It would help if you posted what actions you took, and what results you received.

Hi, i did not solve the problem. But i must say i was busy the last month. I had no time to search for a solution.
